GA Reassessment
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.''


 * 1) Does not follow WP:LEAD
 * 2) some issues with prose eg. "Its solid tumors, which take the form of a lump or mass, commonly begin in one of the adrenal glands, though they can also develop in nerve tissues in the neck, chest, abdomen, or pelvis."
 * 3) how frequent and what are the typical presentations need to be discussed
 * 4) no section on the history of this condition

 * Improved wording for item 2 above.


 * Will work on history for item 4.


 * for item number 3 above:
 * The most common place for neuroblastoma to originate is on the adrenal glands (40% of localized tumors and 60% of wide-spread disease). Neuroblastoma can also develop anywhere along the chain of the sympathetic nervous system: neck (1%), chest (19%), abdomen (30% non-adrenal), or pelvis (1%). In rare cases, no primary tumor can be discerned.

 * History added--brief, but not sure how much detail is appropriate. Can add Evans staging system (first staging system). DMLud (talk) 20:31, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
